The Observation and Measurement Platforms

his platform consists of measurement and observation tools which are complementary to the equipment used on the other technical platforms. It has different cameras which enable visible or infrared imaging in order to obtain better definition of local behaviors of heterogeneous materials. Microscopic means (optical, SEM, etc) are used for the microstructural analysis of the materials (granular structure, texture, chemical composition, etc) and fracture surfaces..

Our equipment

The PHOTRON SA-X2 high speed camera

The PHOTRON SA-X2 is a high speed camera which enables the filming and observation of a test with a number of images per second that can reach 1 million fps.

Gom Aramis 2M, 4M, 5M digital image stereo correlation systems

IRDL uses three systems : GOM ARAMIS 2M, 4M and 5M. These systems consist of two cameras and post-processing software which enable the measurement of 3D kinematic fields by stereo correlation of digital images.
